“The council needs to hurry up and get on with it. You see other estates in Hull where they are demolishing buildings and replacing them really quickly but we have never been given a timescale for here.”

Footage created by a budding filmmaker recently captured the eeriness of the estate.

It showed the baron state the land around St John’s Grove had fallen into, with the houses looking almost haunted.

The council has described the regeneration of the estate as “one of the most far-reaching” projects in the city.

It said demolition of the homes was already underway and the next phase would be completed over the next two years.

“I was told someone was offered £30,000 for their three-bedroom semi-detached house.

“Where else can you get a house like that for that money?”

A spokeswoman for the council said the redevelopment will create a "vibrant neighbourhood".

The houses off Preston Road look like a ghost town

“The redevelopment of the Preston Road area is one of the most far-reaching regeneration programmes underway in the city, creating a new vibrant neighbourhood with quality homes, green areas and community facilities, which include a new school, community centre and women’s centre," she said.

“Work in the area has included a demolition of 1930s-built homes, which were not fit for purpose, and new-build programme.

"With our development partners to date, we have completed 300 well-designed and energy efficient new homes."

Anyone who sees trespassers on these properties are urged to call the development team on 01482 615058 during normal working hours or the council on 01482 300 300 outside of that time.

Alternatively, anyone who witnesses antisocial behaviour or crime being committed should report it to the Police.
